2002 HONDA CR-V Complaints

I OWN A 2002 HONDA CR-V EX AND ITS HAS 75,780 MILES ON IT AND TODAY THE AIR CONDITIONER PUMP HAS FAILED. THE PUMP HAS FRAGMENTED PARTS INTO THE WHOLE A/C SYSTEM AND WILL BE A RATHER HIGH REPAIR RATE FROM MY LOCAL SHOP. *TR

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING MY 2002 HONDA CRV EX AND LOST CONTROL AND ROLLED THE CAR. IT ENDED UP LYING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND HIT A GUARD RAIL WHICH FINALLY STOPPED IT FROM SLIDING ON IT SIDE ALONG THE FREEWAY. THE INSURANCE COMPANY WAS SURE THAT THEY WILL TOTAL THE CAR. THE EX MODEL NOT ONLY HAD FRONT AIR BAGS BUT ALSO SIDE AIR BAGS. NOT A ONE OF THESE WENT OFF. THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE CAR WAS VERY SMASHED AND THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW WAS BROKEN OUT ALONG WITH THE WINDSHIELD. HER ARM HAD GLASS CLEAR DOWN TO THE BONE ALONG WITH A 7 INCH CUT THAT IS STITCHED IN 3 LEVELS. FOR AS MUCH TRAUMA AS THE CAR TOOK I FEEL IT HELD TOGETHER PRETTY GOOD (TOP DID NOT CRUSH IN EXCEPT A LITTLE IN THE BACK ) AND THAT SHE IS LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. I FEEL THAT AT LEAST THOUGH THE FRONT AIRBAGS AND DRIVERS SIDE ONE SHOULD HAVE GONE OFF. AIRBAGS ARE NOT LIKE A SMOKE DETECTOR THAT YOU CAN TEST, YOU RELY ON THAT THEY WILL WORK WHEN YOU NEED THEM. *TR

WE HAVE A 2002 HONDA CRV. THE 1ST AIR COMPRESSOR LOCKED UP/BLEW UP AT APPROXIMATELY 70K MILES. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERED THE REPLACEMENT. NOW THE 2ND COMPRESSOR HAS DONE THE SAME THING. EXTENDED WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. COST IS $2300. HAVE READ THAT THIS YEAR OF CRV HAS DEFECTIVE COMPRESSORS. HONDA AMERICA OFFERED TO PAY 25% ($408) WHICH IS NOT ADEQUATE SINCE THIS IS OUR 2ND COMPRESSOR AND THE PRODUCT APPEARS TO BE DEFECTIVE (AS OPPOSED TO REGULAR WEAR AND TEAR). *TR

I HAVE A 2002 CRV NOW WITH 139,000 THIS IS THE 4TH TIME MY AIR COMPRESSOR HAS GONE OUT ON THIS CAR AND HONDA REFUSES TO TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY. THE FIRST TIME IT WENT OUT WAS IN JULY 2003 AT 31842 MLS, JULY 2004 AT 46,997 MLS, MAY 2006 AT 99,384 AND NOW JUNE 2008 AT 139,000. THE FIRST 2 TIMES IT WENT OUT IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY THE 3RD TIME HONDA SAID THEY WOULD FIX IT BECAUSE IT WAS STILL UNDER 100K AND NOW THEY ARE SAYING THAT I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE EVEN KNOW THEY KNOW THEY ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE COMPRESSORS IN 2002 AND 2003 CRV. *TR

THE OXYGEN SENSOR ON MY 2002 HONDA CRV FAILED TO WORK AND LED TO THE CHECK-ENGINE LIGHT ON. IT FAILED AT AROUND 45,000 MILES. ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURE THE OXYGEN SENSOR WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO FAIL AT THIS LOW MILES. THE REPLACEMENT FROM HONDA DEALER COST ME $500. *TR

2002 HONDA CR-V DOOR SENSORS ARE NOT WORKING. CONSUMER STATES THAT THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE DOOR SENSORS STOPPED WORKING. SHE STATES THAT THE SENSORS DO NOT RECOGNIZE THE DRIVER DOOR BEING OPENED. *KB THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS NO WARNING OR INDICATOR LIGHT WHEN THE LIGHTS WERE LEFT ON AFTER REMOVING THE KEY OR WHEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR WAS PARTIALLY OPENED WHILE MOVING. THE OVERHEAD LIGHT DID NOT COME ON WHEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR WAS OPENED. ALSO, WHEN THE CONSUMER UNLOCKED THE DOOR AND OPENED THE DRIVER'S DOOR THE VEHICLE DID NOT RECOGNIZE THAT THE DOOR WAS OPENED AND LOCKED BY ITSELF. THE BULBS STARTED BURNING OUT, THERE WAS NO WARNING SIGNAL OR INDICATOR LIGHT WHEN THE LIGHTS WERE LEFT ON AFTER REMOVING THE KEY OR WHEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR WAS PARTIALLY OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING. THE OVERHEAD LIGHT DIDN'T COME ON WHEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR WAS OPENED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR. UPDATED 11/19/14 *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE PULLED INTO THE INTERSECTION AND STRUCK THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY AND THE CONTACT WAS INJURED. THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE, THE SRS WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED; HOWEVER, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WORKED FINE. PRIOR TO THE CRASH, THE CONTACT STRUCK A DEER AND A LOCAL MECHANIC REPAIRED THE VEHICLE AND RESET THE SRS WARNING LIGHT. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 108,000.

2002 HONDA CRV WITH BRAKE FAILURE. CONSUMER STATES THAT THE BRAKES FAIL IF YOU PULSE THE BRAKE PEDAL TWICE RAPIDLY. CONSUMER SAID THE BRAKES PERFORM NORMALLY AFTER THE FAILURE. *KB

WITH 62,000 MILES ON MY 2002 CR-V, THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYS ON. HAVING HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH A 2000 ACCORD AND A 2000 ACURA TL I KNOW THAT THE PROBLEM I A FAILED SENSOR SYSTEM AND THE COST WILL APPROACH $700. HONDA HAS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR SRS AND I CONSIDER IT AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE. HONDA CONTINUES TO STONEWALL THE PROBLEM AND SIMPLY DENIES THE PROBLEM IS THEIRS. YOU PEOPLE HAVE NO CLOUT TO MAKE THEM DO ANYTHING SO THE ONLY ANSWER IS TO STOP BUYING HONDA PRODUCTS. I HEREBY PROMISE TO NEVER BY ANOTHER HONDA PRODUCT. I'VE ALREADY REPLACED THE ACURA WITH A TOYOTA AVALON, AND THE ACCORD WITH A TOYOTA CAMRY. I WILL REPLACE THE CR-V WITH SOMETHING OTHER THAN A HONDA. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE WIRES OVERHEATED IN THE REAR CONNECTOR, WHICH WERE LOCATED ON THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH. THE REPAIR WOULD COST $500, WHICH THE CONTACT COULD NOT AFFORD. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 80,000. UPDATED 11/20/07 *TR
